Creating quality podcasts requires not only technical understanding, but also excellent interpersonal skills, project management understanding and a sympathy towards the message being communicated. The Kolbe Podcast Crew, under the wise guidance of teachers Trevor Galbraith and Skye Moroney, have done an excellent job in podcasting the "Living the Vision" Catholic Leadership Conference. Through this authentic learning experience they have produced a website that would be worth thousands of dollars in a commercial setting.
